A Constructed Life

Perhaps the Greatest Tool Ever Created

Four days ago, Joey came home with a new tool. I was skeptical at first, unconvinced that we actually needed it or that it was worth its $400 price tag. But today, I am so happy this wonderful device entered our lives. It’s our new lil’ buddy, our faithful sidekick, our trusty winter warrior.


With an estimated 10″ of snow on the ground and 4 more on the way, our new Toro CCR 2450 Snow Blower makes me and my back so happy.

Here’s Joey gleefully ridding our sidewalk of fresh powder. I think I actually caught him skipping at one point.


Of course, being the smart ass that he is, Joey had to blow a fair amount of snow right at me as I shoveled out front porch, pelting me in the back with it as he cruised by. It’s okay, he’ll pay for that later. I’m very good at making snow balls.

    LOVE IT! Looks like it arrived just in time, too.

    No offense, but better you than me. I SO hate snow. I hate winter. I hate cold. We’re on our third season in 24 hours … and it’s starting to make me nuts. (As if I needed help with that.)
